Controlled release pharmaceutical or food formulation and process for its preparation

a technology of controlled release and food formulation, which is applied in the direction of drug compositions, amide active ingredients, plant/algae/fungi/lichens ingredients, etc., can solve the problems of loss of the effectiveness of the pharmaceutical or food form, unpredictability, and further unforeseeable alteration of the release kinetics, so as to achieve high reproducibility and improve the release profile

Problems solved by technology

A first disadvantage lies in the fact that the release profile often varies from the ideal profile of zero kinetics (that is release at a constant rate), being observed that there is initially a very high release rate which then decreases, or an initially very low release rate which then increases, or again a rate which varies unpredictably.
A second disadvantage lies in the fact that in order to obtain suitable hardness and friability characteristics in indus...

Preparation of Tablets 1-3 (Invention)

[0111]A series of tablets from 1 to 3 containing the ingredients in Table 1 were prepared using the following procedure. Excipient 2 and the glidant were mixed for approximately 2 minutes and passed through an 18 mesh sieve. Excipient 1 was first loaded into a mixer, followed by the active ingredient and finally the mixture of excipient 2 and glidant. The composition was mixed for approximately 10 minutes. Mixing was then interrupted, and the lubricant was added. After mixing for a further approximately 3 minutes the composition was discharged from the mixer and compressed in a tabletting machine.

[0112]The quantity of active ingredient, excipient 1 and excipient 2 were weighted in such a way as to give a ratio by weight between them of 3:1:1 for tablet 1, 3:1:2 for tablet 2 and 3:1:3 for tablet 3.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a controlled release pharmaceutical or food formulation comprising at least one active pharmaceutical or food ingredient dispersed in a mixture of a glycogen with a polysaccharide, and the process for its preparation. The invention also relates to a slow release system represented by a mixture of a glycogen with a polysaccharide, and its use for the preparation of slow release pharmaceutical or food formulations.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to a controlled release pharmaceutical or food formulation, and the process for its preparation.[0002]In particular, the invention relates to a controlled release pharmaceutical or food formulation comprising at least one pharmaceutical or food active ingredient dispersed in a mixture of a glycogen with a polysaccharide, and the process for its preparation.[0003]More particularly, the invention also relates to a controlled release system represented by a mixture of a glycogen with a polysaccharide.STATE OF THE ART[0004]Pharmaceutical forms or formulations for the administration of drugs contain auxiliary substances known as excipients in addition to the active pharmaceutical ingredient. These excipients are similarly included in food supplements which constitute a food formulation comprising a functional substance (vitamin, energy providing substance, protein, and so on), referred to below as a food active ingredient. In this descri...
